I would like to install the VMware ESX 4.1 Complete Update 3 (ESX410-Update03 dated 8/30/2012). However in Update Manager I get a yellow triangle with "Conflict" next to it.
The text when highlighted is:
How do I resolve this conflict. I have no idea.
I detached all baselines on this one test vm host. I created a new one I named Host Upgrade - ESX 4.1 Update 3. In it, I put all the Critical, General and Security patches included with Update 3 in the new baseline as listed here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2020362&sl... 0 468786714
Now I did a scan and it just says Patches: Non-Compliant. I can't go deeper into the view where I can see the list of them (ie missing, installed, etc...) but if I hit stage it shows Patches 15 (0 staged).
I'm not sure but I think I can try to stage the update to this host. No VM's are running on it so it would be a good test.
EDIT,
In the staging process it shows the (!) conflict icon for 3 updates:
ESX410-201208104-SG - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=202035...
ESX410-201208105-SG - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=202073...
ESX410-Update03 - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2020362&sl...
12 other updates just show the missing (x) icon.
Should I try to push it on anyway or what should I do here?
VMWare support said it was safe to ignore. I sucessfully installed Update 3 on all my vm hosts.
I was able to clear this alert for Update 1 and Update 2 by installing ESX410-201101203-UG but I can't fix the "incompatible" status of Update 3.
Is it OK to install Update 3 (ESX410-Update03) on ESX 4.1 build 260247?
